Patent

CA 2674940

The invention relates to the field of plant transformation, in particular plant transformation of a Solanaceae, preferably of potato. The present invention provides an alternative selection method in plant transformation processes. The invention further provides a plant that has been provided with additional nucleic acid sequences but which genetically modified plant essentially consists of cis plant sequences, for example a genetically modified potato plant that has been provided with additional (essentially) potato plant sequences. Such a transgenic plant is free from non-Solanum T-DNA border sequences. A preferred embodiment is a potato plant that carries a functional R-gene, providing resistance against an oomycete pathogen, preferably Phytophthora infestans, wherein said R-gene can be used as selectable marker.

La présente invention concerne le domaine de la transformation des plantes, notamment la transformation d'une plante de la famille des solanacées, de préférence d'une pomme de terre. La présente invention fournit un procédé de sélection en variante dans les processus de transformation. L'invention fournit en outre une plante qui est pourvue de séquences d'acides nucléiques supplémentaires mais laquelle plante génétiquement modifiée consiste essentiellement en des séquences de plantes cis, par exemple, une plante de pomme de terre génétiquement modifiée qui a été pourvue de séquences (essentiellement) de plantes de pomme de terre supplémentaires. Une telle plante transgénique ne contient pas de séquences de limite non solanum T-DNA. Un mode de réalisation préféré est une plante de pomme de terre portant un gène régulateur (R) fonctionnel, fournissant une résistance contre un agent pathogène oomycète, de préférence des infectants phytophtora, où ledit gène R peut être utilisé comme marqueur pouvant être sélectionné.
